<p>Greater Albion have just released two new families on Myfonts and Fontspring.</p>
<p>Portello is a display family in the tradition of Tuscan advertising and display faces. It's a family of three 'all capital' faces. A perpendicular regular form is offered, along with an italic form (a true italic - with purpose designed glyphs-NOT merely an oblique) and a basic form for small text - which dispenses with the family’s characteristic outlined look. It offers the spirit of the Victorian era with ready and distinctive legibility. It's ideal for poster work, especially at large sizes, and for signage with a period flair. </p>

<p>Paget is a modern exploration of Tuscan design. Here you'll find simple geometric outlines with an 'Arts and Craft' charm about them. Paget is beautifully clear and easy to read, but offers a distinctive charm that conventional sans serif and serif faces don't. Paget is offered in regular and oblique forms and is an ideal way to merge tradition and all that is new and fresh in your designs.</p>

<p>Greater Albion has just released three new families on Myfonts.com.</p>
<p><a class="freelinking external" href="http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/gatf/jonquin/ " rel="nofollow"> Jonquin</a> was inspired by some hand lettering seen on a World -War One recruiting poster. It’s a family of three faces for display work and headings designed to be used readily as an 'All-Capitals' face as well as in upper and lower case format. Regular and bold weights are offered, as well as an even more decorative incised form. The whole family is ideally suited for poster and advertising work, as well as book and record covers and period themed signage.</p>

<p><a class="freelinking external" href="http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/gatf/luscombe/ " rel="nofollow"> Luscombe</a> is a boisterous and lively display face, recalling the shaded and outlined faced much beloved of 1920s poster and advertising artists, while offering a regularity of outline that those faces often did not achieve. Itís ideal for poster and display work, or for signage with a subtle period feel. Mix the two faces to add emphasis where it’s needed.</p>

<p><a class="freelinking external" href="http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/gatf/zenia/ " rel="nofollow"> Zenia</a>, offered in regular and bold weights is a homage to the streamline era of the later 1930s. It’s a distinctive display family, glyphic yet still intuitive and easy to read. Use it anywhere you want that 30’s streamlined feel, or perhaps in science fiction inspired work particularly those that have a ‘past inspired future’ feel...</p>
